NIGP 65530: Cameras, Movie; And Accessories

NIGP 65530 Cameras, Movie; And Accessories, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of surveillance and specialized camera equipment, including network security cameras, studio production gear, and entertainment licensing, by state and local jurisdictions for facility monitoring, educational programming, and public events. State and local governments under this code buy brand-specific network camera systems (such as UniFi and Axis models) for security upgrades, studio production equipment for educational institutions (including PTZ cameras, LED lighting, and audio mixing systems), and entertainment content licenses for public programming at aquatic centers and similar venues. The issuing bodies include school districts—notably Hillsborough County Public Schools and the New London Board of Education—municipal technology departments, city procurement offices, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities. The mix spans both single-jurisdiction procurements and multi-entity cooperative arrangements with geographic reach into numerous states.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Washington state. Representative recent opportunities include the New London Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement (RFQ 202614CONL, due May 19, 2026) for UniFi camera equipment across four school locations with brand-specific product restrictions and authorized-distributor requirements; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26049 (due April 13, 2026) for studio equipment including TriCaster integration and mobile production systems with an estimated annual spend of approximately $300,000 and a multi-year renewal structure; the City of Pembroke Pines' RFQ (TS26QQ01, due February 12, 2026) for network cameras replacing end-of-life systems across city facilities; the City of Philadelphia's quote solicitation for podcast equipment (B2627310, due June 14, 2026) requiring vendor-provided installation and five-year extended warranty on servers; and the City of Dallas' bid for movie licenses supporting summer aquatics programming (IFSPKRB1800456, due April 30, 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment represents a multi-jurisdictional contracting vehicle available to participating entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions.
